You can see that she's used some of the BBD quilting fabric. Love it!
Well, I put John on the plane to California yesterday and he's arrived safely, although his luggage was destroyed. (Again. It happened on his way home from San Diego in the spring, too) What should I use for luggage for this kid? I know...I'm going to use the bags that come inside the cereal boxes. Those are impossible to open.
And I ask you - is there any drive more stressful than the drive to the airport? I don't care how early I leave, I'm always a nervous wreck on the way there. In normal traffic, we're about 2 hours from the Pittsburgh airport and those are always two of the longest hours of my life. Luckily, yesterday wasn't too bad - but then again, we left at 4:30AM and the light traffic was moving really fast, so I made it there in 90 minutes. Phew.
Time to work. Blech.
Have a great day, everybody!
That's a lovely exchange! And your Quaker Alphabet finish in the previous post is beautiful!
